Well guys, what would you do if you found the Death Note? Would you purge the world of sin, or burn the sucker the first chance you got? Don't forget, if you're dying to see my reaction to Episode 2, you don't have to wait! It's already posted over on Patreon at the $1 tier, just for you! OR, if you want to see my extended reactions to Episodes 1-5, those are also available on Patreon at the $10 tier! Go check them out!
Wouldn’t have set out to purge, but probably would have used it if I’d stumbled on a worse news report after praying a heck of a lot beforehand. Then lock it away after the guilt.
If he's right about it making you want to try it supernaturally, I wouldn't use it to purge but instead save lives in emergencies. Basically, what Light did with the 1st to kills. Though I might get more creative and see if I could make the threat do something useful before they died. For example, if it was a school shooting, I'd write that the shooter tends to the wounded before dying. After I was sure I could do stuff like that, I'd tell someone so they could keep me in check. While I do think it's possible to do good with the deathnote, it is risky & I'd want to burn it the moment the situation got out of hand.
9:00 - "Why don't you just do something". Of course, trying to confront 5-6 armed people while being alone and without anything to protect yourself is indeed a smart idea and is going to end well.
You are going to witness a phenomenal story. There's no slowness about this show. It's loved so much because of it feeling like a Rollercoaster ride. A thriller. Everything is fast and you never get bored.
9:07 I mean.. he can't really intervene. 3 vs 1? Even 1 vs 1. Never interfere. I've seen videos of people "stepping in" to assist someone, and being shot in the head. So yeah, walk away... or write in your death note.
"You could just do something instead of using the notebook" What is a highschooler gonna do to multiple grown ass men with weapons on a bike who are clearly well versed in the violent side of the world💀💀
To answer your question, I would absolutely use the Death Note to give the most powerful evil people of the world the most hilarious and humiliating deaths possible.
@Leighton Reacts Bocchi the Rock is a really cute anime. Just came out. It's fantastic. I don't normally watch cute. The times all have 4s in them. 4 is death in Japanese. 6 minutes 40 seconds is 400 seconds.
Secondary thing, you noted there being two death notes from what Ryuk said. Ryuk had two already, he dropped one for shits and giggles, he still has the other one.
This the one anime nobody rly gonna be mad about english dub lol some of the most hardcore anime fans say this one of the beat English dub in history even better then the japanese, when it comes to light
I'm late to the party as I just found your channel but I loved this reaction and I'm so happy you went with the Dub! I have to admit Light Yagami is my favorite anime character of all time. I'm completely on his side. Death Note was the first anime I ever watched. A friend recommended it to me because he said I reminded him of Light. I still choose to take that as a complement lol Looking forward to watching more!
Ooh, a gentle, compassionate soul watching Death Note and willing to take it seriously... This should be interesting. 08:11 - Have you seen social media? Have you seen how people explode with visceral hatred towards complete strangers over a difference in worldviews? These people sometimes bandy together and try to inflict as much suffering and harm on their common victim as they can remotely. I'd hazard a guess that the only reasons keeping them from murder is the difficulty in accomplishing that coupled with the fear of getting caught and the social retribution that would follow; the Death Note eliminates both of these. It is basically a convenient thought experiment: if it was both safe and convenient, would you kill people?
Don't have much to say; I'm just one of those crazy react-hungry viewers. But I have standards. The expressiveness you give to your thoughts is much appreciated and enjoyed.
6:29 Why those specific times ? It's actually a linguistico-cultural thing : in Japanese, the words for "four" (四) and "death" (死) can be both read as "shi" (し), an homophonous relation inherited from Chinese (and shared across the SEA region : Korean and Vietnamese share this quirk due to borrowing from Chinese as well). As such, across the region, 4 has an association with Death and misfortune, not unlike 13 does in the European-Arabic zone. Thus the time limits for writing in the Death Note : the time you have to start writing causes of death after writing a name (40s), and the total time you have to write the causes of death once you start writing them (6m 40s = 400s) --- Would I pick up the Death Note, and use it / destroy it? That's an interesting question. I think (assuming I'm in a world with no Death Note anime), I'd pick it up like Light did, probably test it up in the same way Light did (hostage-taking, or a situation when you can kill in *immediate* defense of others), and then I'd probably destroy it, because, once proven real, the potential for evil *and* the risk to myself is too great compared to the good (and/or self-interest gain) it could bring.
I really enjoyed this show up to a certain point. Though up to that point it was great. My favourite character (and Light's adversary) is introduced later.
What would I do ? Light have right idea to kill really bad people, but he can't really know if all the people who he killed is really bad .I would kill only those who I don't have doubts that are really bad (like serial kilers or dangerous dictators) and, so I would use it only very rarely
Hi there, I'm leaving a suggestion just in case: This series is one of those that you kinda have to pay attention constantly, so if you're willing to do it, I'd say it'd be best to pause the episode whenever you to talk about anything
Did you watch anime Naruto and Naruto Shippuden ? If you didn't yet, watch cuz you will learn great life lessions with rollercoster of emotions, you will not regret 😉

Oh… MAYBE I’d consider going to the hospital for the suffering, but probably not.

Everyone's a hero until the other guy has a gun
like the reaction but the confidence in just saying he could do something against like 4 or so guys and one with a baseball bat 💀
9:00 -beacuse there are a few of them and they are probably stronger .And they have at least one weapon (baseball bat) .
fr lmao
"You could just do something instead of using the notebook"

That's a use for the Death Note I might be able to get behind, lol!
After watching this show so many times, It's funny seeing someone say Ryuk looks scary. He's good boi
He is best boi 🥰😂
@Leighton Reacts Bocchi the Rock is a really cute anime. Just came out. It's fantastic. I don't normally watch cute.
The times all have 4s in them. 4 is death in Japanese. 6 minutes 40 seconds is 400 seconds.
Light: I... I just killed two people... this is horrible...
Light 27 seconds later: I AM THE GOD OF A NEW WORLD
Secondary thing, you noted there being two death notes from what Ryuk said.
Ryuk had two already, he dropped one for shits and giggles, he still has the other one.
LITERALLY 🤣 He changed up so fast!
You chose the right Anime, definitely gonna watch this Masterpiece once again with you
yay im so excited to see you watch this!!
The first and second Kill he has done i think it was Self-Defence, but the next Kills he did are totally wrong...
This the one anime nobody rly gonna be mad about english dub lol some of the most hardcore anime fans say this one of the beat English dub in history even better then the japanese, when it comes to light
The voice actors absolutely gave it their all on this show!!!
I'm late to the party as I just found your channel but I loved this reaction and I'm so happy you went with the Dub!

Thank you so much!!! I, too, am a crazy react-hungry viewer, so you're in good company! 😆
After seeing that notebook, I wouldn't even test it. I would destroy that book immediately.

They didn't say Ryuk lost 2 they said he had 2. One of them is the one he has with him and the other is the one Light currently has.
I eventually figure that out, but I'll admit it takes an embarrassing amount of time 🫣😅
U have to see the second episode.You'll love the opposite of Light❤️🔥
How dare you say Ryuk is disgusting he is the most human character on the show 🤣
Shinigami are basically reapers
I really enjoyed this show up to a certain point. Though up to that point it was great. My favourite character (and Light's adversary) is introduced later.
You can thank the anime for cutting a lot of content from the manga after *that* episode for things feeling rushed.
the dub for this show is actually better than the sub imo and many ppl would agree, so youre in great hands lol
sweet

What's the difference between you and Light then lmfaoo?
Light also views them as evil no doubt.
Tatakae
taquitttoooooooooooo
just a suggestion. because this is a reaction, it's better if your screen is big and the anime screen is small

Over-analyzing: The Show!
I think the dubbed version of death note is better
his name is actually pronounced REE-UK and he’s a Shinigami :)
Maybe in the dub. R and Y are supposed to be pronounced together but there is no such sound in English.
